65: Evidence of appointments

You could also call this:

"Proof of Your Defence Job Appointment"

Illustration for Defence Act 1990

When you are appointed to a position in the Civil Staff, it must be in writing. The Chief of Defence Force or someone they choose makes this appointment. They do not need to use a special form for this. If the Chief of Defence Force signs a certificate saying you were appointed to a position, this is enough proof. It shows you were appointed from a certain date and still hold the position. This is true unless someone proves otherwise, as stated in section 30.
